    empty sarcasm - "If you have to ask what a welfare space chimp is, you are one" deserves the same.

    He saved me from blocking him.

    Anyway like someone said previously Biden errr I mean Schumer ain't gonna let it happen.

    Yet another instance of wingnuts getting their panties in a bunch listening to Rush, Sean and now "Little BowTie" Tuccccker (Obama gonna take our guns) over nothing.

    You are amazingly effective.....at self identifying as someone barely to the middle school name calling stage of intellectual development. As I have to keep asking those of you who spit out this inanity, what exactly did you hope to accomplish with the whole "welfare space chimp" set of rants? You wouldn't expect a single person to change their beliefs based on that, although some who nominally share your underlying beliefs might be tempted to question them given the company they'd be keeping. So that pretty much just leaves trolling. Again what do you get out of that?

    I do not tailor my responses with the expectation of your approval, tang...

    I never indicated my approval was necessary or even desired. I simply asked you a question as to what you hoped to accomplish with a juvenile answer that would clearly accomplish nothing except diminishing you and your position. A question that's apparently too difficult for you to answer.

    Just checked what a 0.02% tax (trading futures) would have cost me the last 30 days.
    This FTT is not pleasant but not lethal as well.

    I guess you really are not a US citizen then. If you were, you would know that you would not be "forced" to vote for anyone. Nobody puts a gun to your head and says, "If you do not vote for one, then you must vote for the other." Especially if you are a Republican but do not want to vote for Trump, and decide to vote for Biden instead. That's betraying your party.

    I would feel like betrayed by my party. Especially after the few years that Trump was President.
    I was from start against Trump, so I would give a protest vote to the Democrats.
    Where I live people are free to vote for any party, has nothing to do with betrayal. You watch which "package" is best for you.

    If I read the postings on ET, I see that a lot of people will vote Republican only because of the FTT tax (that will probably never be introduced). Voting just because of the FTT tax is utterly stupid. There are much other and more important issues.

    Parties betray much more the people than people betray the parties.

    For that I gave you a like. That is a true statement.

    Does someone here have an actual line from the tax bill she proposes that describes in detail what the new rule would be? All I read is speculation and supposition.
